Yes, LineIterator re-uses the same data buffer while reading the file for 
efficiency.  If you want to save the data that LineIterator gives you, use

fields = TextUtil.delmit(line.dup,",");

What this does is make a copy of the line, then split that up.  When the 
LineIterator re-uses the buffer, it won't affect your copies.

And Tango does not use 'string' as a keyword, that is Phobos only.

Hope that helps.
